New Gallery posted! St Paul Skete, Grand Jct TN

After a couple of months of nearly continuous travel, I am getting caught up on photo editing, and just posted a new gallery of images, these from St Paul Skete (Antiochian, women’s) in Grand Junction, Tennessee, about an hour outside of Memphis.

Please proceed over to the St Paul Gallery to see a selection of images, both of the skete chapels and grounds, and glimpses of the services…

These photos mean a lot to me. My local parish is Antiochian and anything about monasticism related to my diocese here in the States is like manna. Even more meaningful because I live in Kentucky and might be able one day to visit them!

Thank you for your comment! Bishop Basil (Essey) of Wichita is also in the process of forming a monastery in Wichita KS. It was a little too early for them to be photographed for my project, but it is wonderful to see such holy activity. The Western Rite Monastery of St Laurence and Our Lady in Colorado is also in the Antiochian Archdiocese, and Metropolitan Joseph has taken a personal interest in helping them grow. Glory to God for all things!
